Caption: This is a picture of my mum and I in Sapa, Vietnam January last year
The maid does all the washing and cleaning
The taxi or bus takes me to work, chauffered
I have a three course meal every lunch
For small change in my country
I'm busy at work and they speak English for me
Because my Spanish is useless
In the wealthy suburbs
They're hosing the dust
And watering their desert oasis gardens
Whilst a few kilometres away
People don't have water pipes
I relax on leather lounges in the cinema
And enjoy our luxurious penthouse
Where the doorman lets me in everyday
Even with the elevator
Ready and waiting
The mangos are less than 50c a kilo
And my life's as juicy as them
If I don't take the little changes
For granted too quickly
It's my mum's birthday today
